I'm currently developing a gadget to show some details from Azureus in the sidebar on Vista, stuff like DL speed, amount of torrents, % complete etc. Is there anyone interested in this? If so would you be willing to test it?

It requires you have Azureus and the HTML Web UI plugin installed on it. Please post here if you're interested as i want to get a little bit of testing done before i put it on the Live Gallery. Thanks, Law

I'm willing to test

I just have to install Azureus (I usually use Azureus but tried uTorrent for a while) and the WebUI. Might need some help installing the WebUI as when I tried installing on Longhorn Server with uTorrent's WebUI (didn't even know Azureus had one), it didn't work.

Well i've put what i have so far below. Currently is just shows DL and UL speed but expanding it now should be easyish. Ive done some testing on VPC and it seems ok.

Awesome might check this out later today

yo... nice... i'll use this when vista comes out.

Can i ask what stats would be useful on the sidebar/flyout? I'm thinking amount of torrents compelted/seeding/downloading and maybe total % done?

I think maybe a system like the contacts gadget. You have a list of torrents, and when you Double click them it comes up with more info

Moved here from General Discussion

Vegetunks, i would do that, but i cant seem to get any math to work in javascript so ill have another look when i have more time. Things like "var variable=torrentnumber+1" just stop the script from reaching its end

Just finished the flyout, took me about 4 hours Tell me what you think

looks good so far... maybe i'll try it out later on :-)

This gadget is now on the [email="http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=6b620d71-e778-444c-adf1-a7e28d7c96fa&l=1"]gallery[/email] with more features like a flyout that auto-resizes to the amoutn of torrents, links for stop and start all, clickable torrent names to take you to more details.

It's currently awaiting submission approval so in the meantime it can be downloaded here

Very good!! But i have a litle problem, I just see PL in the gadget. Look at the screen shoot.. strange!!

Sorry, looks like i messed up the link to the gallery. Try the newest version:

If that still doesnt work PM me and i'll try and sort out the issue with you .

HUmmm same think!

Hey ljames
It would be way cool to have Azureus 3D View as a gadget. It could show my progress and the number of seeders in a very nice fashion. Perhaps it would need one 3D View gadget per torrent but it could be limited to say five downloads listed at a time or it would clog up the sidebar.

Is it possible?

what about utorrent?

manhole: if it can be accessed over the web. If not no. If it can be, please pm me and ill work on it.

destined1ne: utorrent haven't bothered providing anything to help developers, so there's absolutely now way to interface with it currently. I have considered it and made a few prototypes, but nothing sucessful enough to release.

utorrent works good on the web http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=14565
http://localhost:port/gui/

Yes, but like i said, theres no API or consideration for devlopers

will this work with utorrent webui?

Nope, i haven't found a way to interface with that yet.

Very useful gadget!

Is it possible to use https instead of http?
